Wednesday was expected to be mostly sunny with a light breeze. The low will be around 72. Thursday, Friday and Saturday are expected to continue to be hot, with a slight chance of showers Friday and about a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday.

Baltimore still hasn't hit 90 degrees this month, despite forecasts it might have Wednesday. With perhaps one more chance to hit the mark, it could be the first August without 90-degree temperatures here in 30 years.

Historic flooding and the coldest temperatures in decades made weather headlines in Baltimore in 2014. Rainfall records were set in April and August, and after a frigid winter, the summer was comfortable and fall cool. The year is expected to be the coolest and wettest here in years.
